You can't do that in portable Common Lisp.
Useful could be the function ROOM. ROOM prints memory statistics and with the argument T it prints them detailed. So you may see a difference before and after some instance creations. Implementations may have specific functions, but you need to check that with the manual or with the support mailing list.

Interesting. (side explanation: I am dealing with lots of things and I'm trying to figure out how to optimize them smaller)

Some implementations will let you profile allocation to find the hotspots. That's much a much better way to improve the footprint.
